Where will you be on Monday, the first day of the 2012 firearms hunting season for deer in Pennsylvania?Pennsylvania Game Commission/file

Outdoor writer Marcus Schneck will be traveling across the region on Monday, the first day of the firearms hunting season for deer, talking to hunters about their experiences and observations in the field.

However, chances are slim that he will bump into you and interview you for coverage of the first day in The Patriot-News and on www.PennLive.com.

That doesn't mean you can't be part of the story.

Contact Schneck today at mschneck@comcast to arrange for him to call you on your cell phone at a specific time – not at some random time as you're watching that trophy rack inch closer and closer to your stand – to talk for just a few minutes about what you're seeing and hearing out there.

He's hoping to talk to those hunting in Central Pennsylvania and those who live in Central Pennsylvania but hunt elsewhere in the state.
